BOYS AND GIRLS & RUSSELL RECESS PLAY PROGRRAM
We have partnered this year with the Boys and Girls club to support our recess. In order to maintain this partnership, the Club is asking that each Russell student have a completed application form. This form is NOT for the after-school program, it is exclusively for the school day recess program at the Russell.
RUSSELL EMERGENCY CONTACT FORM
Please complete the linked emergency contact form and health/family information profile so we can best support our students and families.
RUSSELL SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY USE AGREEMENT
This form is the technology use agreement form for all students who will be using the school Chromebooks.
RUSSELL WALKING PERMISSION SLIP
Please complete this year long permission slip which will allow students to walk with their class within a one-mile radius of school. Locations include the library, south bay, the fire stations and other community locations.
RUSSELL ATTENDNACE POLICY AND FORM
REQUEST TO BPS TO MAKE MERGERS EQUITABLE, AND TRANSPARENT
Hi there! I'm a Sumner parent who is very much in the weeds advocating against a proposed merger between the Sumner and the Philbrick next year. I know that BPS has also proposed that Russell and Clap merger next year. We would love to find out how your community is experiencing this process and if you are for or opposed to the merger. So we would love to be in contact with your parent council. If you have an email you can share or share mine (allison.jacobs.friedmann@gmail.com) with someone at your school, that would be awesome. Also if there is a desire to have a better process from BPS, here is a link to a request we are making to BPS about merger process. Any parent can sign on. That was a lot. Hope I don't overwhelm you! I can get a little over-zealous about BPS advocacy.
